5. Maintenance
Regular maintenance helps ensure the longevity and safe operation of your TV mount.
- Cleaning: Wipe the mount with a soft, dry cloth to remove dust. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents.
- Periodic Checks: Periodically check all screws and bolts to ensure they remain tight. Re-tighten if necessary.
- Moving Parts: The articulating arms are designed for smooth movement. If movement becomes stiff, ensure no cables are snagged and check for any obstructions. Do not apply lubricants unless specifically recommended by the manufacturer.
6. Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your TV mount, refer to these common solutions:
- TV Not Level: Use the ±3° leveling adjustment feature. If still not level, slightly loosen the bolts on the leveling mechanism, adjust, and then retighten.
- Difficulty Tilting: If the tilt is too stiff or won't hold, slightly loosen the bolt on one side of the tilt mechanism, adjust, and then retighten both bolts. If it won't hold, fully tighten the bolt on the other side.
- Mount Feels Loose: Re-check all wall plate lag bolts and TV bracket screws to ensure they are securely tightened.
- Limited Movement: Ensure no cables are obstructing the articulating arms. Check for any physical obstructions around the mount.
